Good player in his day. Saw him many times.

 

Cheers Bushy.

Do you think that Shaun Wright-Phillips will follow his example and change his name to save his kids from ridicule?

 

I just about remember him & scoring a goal from near the half way line, christ that was along time ago.

 

Thanks Bushman, I really like these links, they always leave me with a sense of pleasurable melancholy and nostalgia for a more simple and honest past. These men were simply plying their trade to earn a living, no airs and graces.

Perhaps I should be following a lower or non league team.

 

That was against Walsall. April 1 1961. 1-0
Keeper kicked it out and Arthur banged it back first time from the halfway line into the goal.

 

You are

 

ooh, sharp as a knife today mate....

 

cheers bushman too long to remember who it was against, blimmey we are getting old! still fit & feel young.

 

One of our better players in the 3rd (South). Always put in a decent shift.

 

Pretty young for a football player, only six years old...
